This was a cute, fluffy YA featuring a protagonist who is a asexual biromantic black girl. Alice has to navigate declaring a college major (one her family doesn’t agree with), keeping the peace with her friends, and figuring out how she really feels about the new guy at work, Takumi. This is the first time I've ever read a book with an asexual perspective, and I know it is going to be so important for many readers.

I could pick this apart if I wanted to. As a debut, it definitely had some pacing issues and I couldn’t shake the feeling that nothing much really happened in the plot. At the same time, there were parts that were really cute, and I’m pretty sure my younger romance-loving self would have loved this. I’m not going to judge it too harshly.

I received a copy of this ebook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

If I went to my siblings and said I’m bisexual, they would know what I meant. If I tell anyone I’m asexual, they’re going to look at me like there’s something wrong.”"
